Abstract: PUFA mixtures containing different isomers with at least two conjugated unsaturations, including trans-10 double bonds can be enriched in the trans-10 isomers by subjecting the mixture to an enzymic conversion in the presence of an enzyme with trans-10 specificity followed by separation of the reaction mixture and isolation of the enriched product.
